I ate a wild mushroom outa the yard this mooring. Still not dead. Dang. "This aptly named fungus is both striking and delicious; it really DOES taste like chicken! A handsome salmon or vermillion color on top and pale to brilliant yellow on the bottom, this mushroom is also dazzling and really stands out in the forest. This chicken grows in layered shelves, and can become quite large! The Chicken of the Woods mushroom is a polypore, meaning it has a smooth, porus surface underneath from which it drops spores, instead of gills. The spore print is whitish. Chicken of the Woods is my personal favorite when stir fried with teriyaki. It also is a wonderful addition to homemade pasta sauce, omelettes, and does reasonably well when marinated and grilled! The flavor is very like poultry, and good specimens have the texture of chicken breast."
